Drake Calls Macklemore’s Post-Grammy Apology to Kendrick Lamar ‘Wack’

Macklemore and his musical partner Ryan Lewis won four awards at the 2014 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. Rapper Lamar and Drake both left the award show empty handed. After the Grammys, Macklemore displayed on Instagram a text he sent Lamar, which stated, “You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It’s weird and sucks that I robbed you. I was gonna say that during the speech. Then the music started playing during my speech, and I froze.”

In an interview, Drake told Rolling Stone “I was like, ‘You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn’t deserve it, go get better — make better music. It felt cheap. It didn’t feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?”

A representative for Drake didn’t return a request for comment. A representative for Macklemore didn’t return a request for comment.

Drake went on to tell the music magazine, “This is how the world works: He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick. Whether people wanna say it’s racial, or whether it’s just the fact that he tapped into something we can’t tap into. That’s just how the cards fall. Own your sh–.”

He continued, “To name just Kendrick? That sh– made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages!”
